System Setup for new Dish Network Eastern Arc (Dish 1000.4)

I also wanted to make sure you were aware that the Super Buddy Meter is compatible with the new Dish Network Eastern Arc (Dish 1000.4 antenna). The user must update their software via the internet to ensure that they have this selection available in the meter’s software menu.

System Setup for new Dish Network Eastern Arc (Dish 1000.4):
Region: Your geographic region
Service: Dish Network
System: Eastern Arc
LNB Model: Choose 1000.4 Triple if you only have the standard Dish 1000.4 LNB
Or choose 1000.4 Triple/110 if you have the Dish 1000.4 LNB and are using a wing dish for the 110 satellite
Or choose 1000.4 Triple/118.7 if you have the Dish 1000.4 LNB and are using a wing dish for the 118.7 satellite
Or choose 1000.4 Triple/121 if you have the Dish 1000.4 LNB and are using a wing dish for the 121 satellite
Switch Type: DpPlus

When the user presses the LNB button to power the LNB:
One press of LNB soft key = LNB1 = 72.7 - Tech should align dish until best signal level, signal quality, LOCK, and ID Verification are achieved on the 72.7 satellite
2nd press of LNB soft key = LNB2 = 61.5 - Tech should align dish until best signal level, signal quality, LOCK, and ID Verification are achieved on the 61.5 satellite
3rd press of LNB soft key= LNB3 = 77.0 - Tech will not get a lock or signal quality on the 77 satellite right now because the transponders are not active
If using a wing dish also, a 4th press of LNB soft key= LNB4 (either 110, 118.7, or 121 satellite, depending on what System Setup was chosen earlier – Tech should align wing dish until best signal level, signal quality, LOCK, and ID Verification are achieved on the desired satellite

satellite joe is on a distinguished road
I had a chance to try it out in the field with a 1000.4 and I must say I was pretty impressed!
I just ordered mine over the weekend and I feel like a little kid waiting for my new toy (LOL)
